I hope Arrow has changed and this is as smooth as a B&M. I believe it's a possibility, especcially now that good engineer's are designing, rather than Ron Toomer. I would liek to see more 4D coasters, I really liek the idea, I jsut hope Arrow ahs gotten smarter about good design and made this smooth. I would love to see Arrow compete with B&M or Intamin.

X will be the most XTREME ride ever built, no matter how smooth or rough it is. Think about it: A 200ft plunge, headfirst and straight down, and that's just the beginning! How could it not be XTREME? I have a feeling that it will be very smooth like a B&M though, because it'll just about have to be smooth with all of those seats flipping and rotating all the time. Too much vibration would completely ruin the experience, and it would be too much unnecessary stress and strain on key nuts and bolts that will already be under a considerable amount of strain! X should put Arrow back into the game BIGTIME, and it may even put them above the mighty B&M! I can't wait to see what B&M's answer to the 4th dimension will be!

Just looking at the movie gives me chills. No other movie of a proposed or existing coaster has ever done that for me. Perhaps it's just the editing and music. That notwithstanding, I have a feeling that X will be one wild ride.

Hey goonsta, you forgot to mention something about Arrow's first modern suspended coaster, XLR-8! It's still a joy to ride, even though the technology is over 10 years old. It's no X, but it is Xcellent! Arrow is gonna start redefining the industry again, and X is a perfect Xample of how they're gonna do it. It's gonna be very interesting to see them duke it out with B&M toe to toe, and let's not forget that Vekoma's flying dutchmans and other products are evolving quite nicely as well. Giovanola, Mack, Intamin, Zierer, all are turning out more and more unique and interesting products, and improving their old technologies in more and more awesome and amazing ways these days, and so many advances are being made that it's downright SCARY to think about what the future might hold for the amusement industry in the years to come! We're living in the most exciting times in history right now!
